  1. infectious polyneuritis

    Infectious polyneuritis, also known as Guillain-Barré syndrome, is a rare neurological disorder in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the peripheral nerves, causing weakness, numbness, and tingling sensations that can escalate to muscle weakness and paralysis. It usually occurs a few days or weeks after the patient has a respiratory or gastrointestinal viral infection, but why it causes the body to attack its own nerves remains unclear. The syndrome is potentially life-threatening and requires immediate hospitalization.
